A Washington, D.C. federal judge on Monday extended a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from carrying out a plan to temporarily freeze funds across the federal government, warning that the funding pause could have “catastrophic” impacts on people across the country.
“Each day that the pause continues to ripple across the country is an additional day that Americans are being denied access to programs that heal them, house them, and feed them,” Judge Loren AliKhan wrote in the ruling.
